Verse 1:
EE7
Shook the hands with the president, and then the pope in Rome;
AA7
I've been to parties where I've had to be flown;
C#mAbmC#mAbm
They told me everything was sacred, nothing is profane;
C#mAbmB7
Money's something that you throw off of the back of a train.

Verse 2:
EE7
Steamer of gravy with the little fried pearls
AA7
Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl
C#mAbmC#mAbm
And Chalmers said thanks for the food and land
C#mAbmB7
And somethin' about God that I just don't understand

Bridge:
AE
She's got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the land
BE
Skin like a baby, but she drives like a man

She lives in Natchez, and she operates a crane
F#7B7
She's like a wrecking ball that's no longer connected to the chain
Verse 3:
EE7
Zerelda Samuels said she ain't never prayed
AA7
Since her right arm was blown off in a Pinkerton raid
C#mAbmC#mAbm
They lashed her to a windmill with 3-fingered Dave
C#mAbmB7
Now she's a hundred and two and drinkin' juleps in the shade

Always keep a diamond in your mind
